In The Cut: Azealia Banks And Curren$y Made XXL’s Top Songs Of The Week

Yes, we know. Jay-Z over everything and J. Cole is the new God. We know, we know. What we also know is that you've most likely been listening to a very limited number of songs in these past few weeks, so we've taken it upon ourselves as curators of this hip-hop culture to make sure you're not missing out on the new tunes you might've overlooked in your hunt for the Yeezy Red OctobersMCHG.

In our weekly column called In The Cut, the diversely opinionated XXL staff celebrates another lively week in hip-hop and picks some of their favorite releases from the past week. Until next week—keep it regal, rap fans.
